They aren't 'regulated' in any sort of political sense (ie: no rotations or anything like that).
There are simply some guidelines to help adjudicate disputes. Specifically, a raid that is 'first in force' gets a short (30 min) time window to engage the target. First in force is defined as 'having 15 players in zone'.
So, the guild who is fastest to mobilize and get 15 players into the raid zone gets an uncontested 30 minutes to engage the target. If they dilly dally around and don't engage in 30 minutes, they lose their 'claim' on the target and any other force can engage it.
Usually this sort of policy helps prevent griefing and limits the amount of petitions and arguing involved in the (often) ugly race for contested raid targets. Basically this policy rewards quick mobilization, and helps prevent tactics like leapfrogging or 'alpha strike' KS'ing which often occur in a totally 'free-for-all' raid environment. In other words, it favors guilds who are organized and can mobilize quickly, and dis-favors guilds who prefer to use underhanded tactics like leapfrogging and training.

does that 30 mins to engage the target include clearing of the panes in order to get to the bosses? or is the target the policies are refering to actual bosses?
I would think clearing the plane and putting in the time to do so would entitle that guild to the bosses uncontested.
